Astro: New Moon in Sagittarius: Take Aim!

AA NM Sagittarius



23/11/22 @ 22:57


All Hail & Welcome to my 112th published article on Ancient Footprints; Astro New Moon in Sagittarius: Take aim! We have been traversing a time of heavy emotional currents, great losses & small gains. We are now entering Sagittarius season. Sagittarius is the sign of the Centaur. The Centaur carries with him his bow & arrow to enable true aim in the right direction of our desires. So, is it time to fire arrows of desire or is it time to reflect as we approach the winter solstice in December? The conundrum is real. As we explore the new moon phase & all its cosmic influences we may find ourselves ready to expand into abundance with the powerful presence of Jupiter of success & silver linings. Ok lets get on with our journeying into the New phase moon & beyond….


New Moon occurs when the Sun & Moon sit next to each other, conjunct in the same sign. This month’s lunation is accompanied by the presence of Venus of autonomy, finance & love in addition to Mercury of communication & travel. So we can expect these areas of our lives to be highlighted during this phase in addition to Sagittarian expressions of life. We are also under a heavy influence of the giant planet Jupiter of expansion, abundance & luck making this lunation one of the most auspicious for manifesting our desires.



New Moon is a time for preparing to plant our seeds of desire for the month or year ahead. It is a time of contemplation & darkness within which we find our deepest desires. New moon is the very beginning of the lunar cycle, when the thinnest of silver slithers can be seen in the night sky. Prior to this we have dark moon, when the sky is void of the moon altogether, I’ll leave that for another discussion. A maiden’s Winter to Spring time moon phase, generating new ideas and planning new projects, new beginnings, soul searching and discovering your personal truths. New moon is a time when the Sun and Moon share the same degree in the same Sun / Star sign. This means that your exterior personality, your ego and your interior personality, your emotions and feelings are in complete balance with each other. This provides us with a clarity surrounding ourselves. Just sit with that thought for a minute.

New Moon is the best time to set intentions, plant the seeds of hope for what you would like to nurture and grow for the coming month or as part of your annual intentions, a bit like new years resolutions but with more clout behind them! This is the new fresh cycle, the new chapter if you like. New moon brings abundant opportunities to start over, rework areas of your life, or make the adjustments needed to previous plans which you have already been working on. On a personal note, it encourages me to stand in my truth and do the work that is freely flowing to me, spiritually and practically.


Sagittarius likes change! That’s a great thing considering what may come our way within the next couple of weeks. I feel this deeply at this present moment. Sagittarius positive qualities are honesty, optimism, enthusiasm, independence, adventure, outspokenness, intellect, curiosity, generosity & directness. The symbol for this sign is the bow & arrow of the archer. We are being encouraged to aim high , touch the divine & gain knowledge, discover cosmic enigma’s , to seek & speak the truth. This New Moon has great manifestation potential & brings us a huge boost of positivity, optimism & luck. The bow & arrow reminds us that wherever we aim, our arrows of intent will land with force & attitude. So take aim by all means, being sure in your strength & destination.

Ask yourself:

Where can I positively integrate the qualities of the archer into my life?

What is it I wish to attract into life?

Where do I need to infuse more faith & how can I do this to the best of my abilities?

What new innovation can help to solve problems?


A Sagittarius New Moon calls us to upgrade our understanding & perceptions of the world we live in. We are being called to become courageous & welcome expansive thinking. We are being asked to view our big picture with trust & positivity. Our expansion will aid in changing the way we think, exceeding the mundane. We are in a place in which we can & must retain hope, faith & our future vision. Most of all we must trust that we will not assume the outcome, but be open-minded in our expectations. We are being asked to step out from the programming & believe in our own projections, working toward them with an ‘outside of the box’ attitude. Sagittarius thinks big & we are expected to follow this trail of thought. We must be assertive in our deeds but also mindful of our actions & how they may affect those around us. This is our chance to create the life we’ve been dreaming of, rather than to repeat the cycles which we have already taken lessons from & no longer serve a purpose.

Ask yourself :

Am I ready to level up?

What am I taking with me on this adventure?

What will I need to leave behind?

Where am I aiming my arrows?


Jupiter is the ruling planet of Sagittarius & it just so happens to be in play as the main influence over this phase this month. Jupiter of expansive energies, good luck & silver linings will offer this New Moon an extra emphasis as it sits trine New Moon & will leave retrograde just minutes after New Moon phase, going direct in the last few degrees of Pisces, where it began its journeying last May (2021). At this time Jupiter will encourage us to look at our journeying from May ‘21 to the present & ask what this time has conjured up in us. Over this time period Jupiter’s journey will have presented us with universal themes connected to our beliefs & creativity. In addition, this time will have brought a softness to our approach to areas in our lives. Think back to May ‘21.

Ask yourself:

What was occurring at this time & where have I learned to soften myself or show that softness to others from then until the present?

Have I retracted personal defence walls?

Has my heart been opened to the wider perspective in life?

How can we discuss with an open mind rather than speaking from fear based conditioning, to discover what morality means to us?


Jupiter is a ‘see the bigger picture’ kind of planet which helps us to see through the wider lens to a more expansive view. In addition, Jupiter’s influence can also lead to over-active machinations of the truth, self inflation & over confidence & heated arguments. Try to keep in mind objectives & steer clear of fantasy.


Set intentions for what you want from life. Be mindful of others reactions or feelings. Embrace an abundance mindset. Keep in mind that Sagittarius’ qualities & aspects will be given that extra boost of energy. And Go!!!!


Furthermore, we are approaching a time of year, closing in on Winter Solstice here in the Northern hemisphere, where we are given the opportunity to release ourselves from the past few months of deep transformation & head into reflection. For some of us this will come as a great big sigh of relief, for others another day of contemplation. Whatever is in play for us right now is worth feeling into. Asking ourselves what sits right with our souls purpose is a good way to begin the journey of ascent from the dark transformative energies into the light of what will be. Sit comfortably in meditation & allow to settle. By honouring ourselves with a quietened mind , we can reflect on those things which worked out for us & those that didn’t. What lessons we will take forth & what will be left behind will become clearer if not already evident. By giving ourselves time to reflect & allow intuition to focus on a new destination, our journeying will come to us clearly, quickly & will get us to our silver lining. Allow appreciation for what has been successful, bask in it for a while. Well done for all the triumphs however big or small!


Thank you for your presence in journeying through the cosmic energies on offer to us at this time. Please join me again for another adventure for full Moon in Gemini on or around 7th December 2022.

I wish you all abundance & joy

In gratitude, grace, love, light & all betwixt

Sheela
